I never see posts about this skill, and I'm trying to decide whether it is worth purchasing.

I have all the the charming interviewing/smart skills in addition to lock picking, underworld connections, and hypnotism, but have been saving up skill points for the expansion...Is surveillance worth it to purchase now? How often does it work?

Basically, I'm leaning heavily toward waiting for the expansion, but just looking to get all the pros and cons of this skill.

Thanks in advance,
Serena

I would LOOOOVE the Bananarama Torture skill! Would it be tough or charming? hmmmm.... I am, however, holding out for the "Kicking him to kindom come if they don'y unclamm" skill to be used with suspects in like, really hard cases that clam up right away. That be a tough one, in case you are wondering.

In re: surveillance. I only used it with another detective in my agency that has it, and I see about 50/50 success rate without smart gear on. Of course, I had forgotten that it is a smart skill and did not out my smart gear on. The one I adore is hypnotism! Works much better than surveillance in getting more suspects and it is automatic!

Thank you so much, everyone :)

I have skill points practically burning a whole in my pocket, but I think I'll hold out just on the off chance that a Bananarama Torture Skill makes the cut...I wouldn't want to wait to purchase that :p

P.S. Reese, no I didn't ask that, but I definitely should have...So thanks for the info :)

Can unsubscribed detectives catch arch villians and visit the new city?

Well, we're still waiting for the expansion to come in about a week's time, but my guess would be that they can't.
